Once again Reflections detailing of Utah was given a sweet ride to perfect.
This gem was a New car prep with adding a coating to help protect for years to come. The coating of choice on this job was Cquartz Finest, which was an excellent choice for its ideal protection and gloss. When ever a new car comes in to the shop, we need to decon the paint very well. This entails claying the paint to remove any environmental particles bonded to the paint in the shipping process, stripping any "waxes" that are on the surface, and an inspection to see the condition of the paint before proceeding....

TUF SHINE Inc., a Utah corporation, first started out as Tuf Coat Inc. in early 2004 and started marketing their products in local car shows. Shortly after that time the name was changed to TUF SHINE Inc. This seemed to be a better fit to what they were trying to bring to the marketplace. TUF SHINE Tire Clearcoat is the first PERMANENT water based tire dressing to reach the market, as their technology was established in 2004 and at that time there was nothing on the market to even come close to this new water based technology. The principle owners are Ron West, president, and Bob Curtis,...

Over the course of my detailing experiences I have come across many different kinds of “issues” my clients vehicles have had, and they trust in my experiences to keep their vehicles safe. If I ever want a second option on something, I can call any of the large network of pros I know for their experience or take on the issue I’m detailing with. Having some of the top detailers in the world working together makes for a tag team detailing enterprise like no other. It’s when you get so good at your trade that you feel you “know it all”, and that is when you fall far from your perch...

A few times a year something comes along that is a treasure and in detailing that treasure to me was preping two cars for Pebble Beach and Quail Lodge 2012.
The 1955 Porsche 356 Pre A GS Carrera Speedster I believe the owner told me its 1:14 in the world. It will be attending Mille Miglia in 2013
The Ferrari is a 288 GTO that had the honor of sitting on the 18th hole of Pebble beach as one of the cars for Ferrari USA.
I didn’t have a ton of time with these cars because the transporter was arriving in just a few days, so I had to prioritize what I could get done with what needed to be done....

Reflections Detailing of Utah gets to deal with a fair number of boats here in Utah, and boat detailing is not “glamorous” to many detailers. I really like detailing boats because the turn around in appearance can be drastic. Boating in Utah is a family affair and after a long day on the water many boats just get put in storage till the next week, this weekly trend continues until the problems not addressed build. The major problems are; hard water spots, dirt, grime on the seats, carpets with all matter of spills, and boats that stay in the water all season. This later situation presents...
